Probably the old “2000” boot – Dave_Conway will be able to advise. In the meantime, finding the model number would be useful – should be on the control panel somewhere, or certainly on a label on the back.

Going from left to right on the control panel, please describe which lights are flashing, also whether ther are are four of five lights including the power lamp.

Penguin45.Re: Bosch WTA3100 Dryer – Faulty On/Off switch
If the switch will not latch home, it is due an internal failure of the component and should be replaced. From the left there is a double switch, one of which is the door button and a single switch. From memory I can’t remember which on is the power switch.
Anyway, p/no 154145 is the double switch @ £14.92 and 145144 is the single switch @ £6.70., The are plus VAT and P+P. Go to http://www.bshappliancecare.com to order.
Access to the top is via the lid, remove the screws under the plastic caps to get in. As you said, pull the plug first.

Penguin45.OK, Seeing as I’m not going to win this little exchange, you might as well have:

Remember to allow for the wind, especially if you’ve been eating beans…….

The fan is retained by an olive (or compression) fitting. The more you try and pull the fan forwards, the tighter it gets. Most professional repairers have a small “puller” that will do the job; however in your own case you will have to douse the fan centre with WD40 and after waiting a while see if you can drive the fan BACK, away from the olive. If it goes, the olive can be easily removed and it will all come apart.
Needless to say, power off………..

Pengun45.It is plausible that the symptons you have described may be casued by an earth leak through the fan oven element, which has subsequently blown completely. Replacing a fan oven element is generally pretty straight forward as it is concealed behind the oven cavity rear panel. It may be best to get some pro help in view of the other problems you have described.
Check Repairs@ or Directories for a repairer in your area.
If you’re going to have a look, pull the plug first.

Penguin45.It’s related to water level control – the undertray may be flooded, there may be a blockage or the computer board may be as mad as a hatter.
If you’re going to have a look yourself, pull the plug first.
Regards,
Penguin45.Flood protection system has been operated – basically it has leaked into the undertray. Draining the undertray will allow the machine to operate, but you still have to find the leak.
As the machine is so new, get the engineers in.

Penguin45.Ian,
I take it that there is a power light as well, to make 5 lights? If so you have a heat problem. This may be caused by a number of things ranging from element failure, thermostat failure to the computer board failure and numerous other things including water level.Best bet may be professional repair, check Repairs@ or Directories for a repairer in your area.
If you are going to investigate, pull the plug first.

Penguin45.0000 0001 is specifically a board failure (self diagnosing).
We are in the process of tabulating the fault codes for these appliances into some sort of accessible format to ease the diagnostic process.
Regards,
Penguin45.There is always half a pint of water at least left in the bottom of the machine, so leakeage is inevitable. Towel or low tray is about all you can do.
For manuals, please read the post at the top of this forum.

Penguin45.Re: miele w736 washing mashine
Lewey,
What you have described to date suggests a fault in in the water level control system. This employs a multilevel switch operated by air pressure. The air chamber occasionally gets clogged with old soap and other detritus and will give false readings, this can lead to “interesting” things happening in the cycle. Undoing a few screws around the soap box and the bolts around the door opening will allow the entire front of the machine to swing open like a cupboard door and reveal the workings. This must be done with the power off…………The airchamber is at the 6 o’clock position on the tub front and should be thoroughly flushed out and cleaned, as should the rubber grommet to which it fits.
If you are not confident about doing this yourself, please get pro help – check Repairs@ or Directories for a UKW engineer in your area.
The Meile range of machines are amongst the best autowashers ever built, so it is definitely worth sorting out.

Penguin45.Had several requests for the “Ice cream” stream – can’t pass it on because the laptop has expired BUT it’s in the earlier link – http://www.sharpdressedpenguins.com/funstuff.html
Enjoy.
